Blount County War Dead Memorial Plaza

Hickory completed renovations on this Blount County landmark – located on the front grounds of the county courthouse in Maryville – in time for its official dedication on Veterans Day 2016. A new stone base for the memorial’s centerpiece bronze statue was created, while several other outlying military monuments were arranged around a paved walkway with five-foot granite walls inscribed with the names of all Blount County residents killed in the line of duty. The plaza also features a time capsule embedded in one of the memorial’s stone benches.
